Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro Processor Technology Quick Start Guide

See the Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension (Intel MEBX) User’s Guide for detailed information 
about configuring the Intel ME and Intel AMT using the Intel MEBX. 

 

Skip to Step 5:  Discover Intel vPro Clients through the Management Console, on page 15. 

 

 

 

Step 5:  Discover Intel vPro Clients through the Management Console 

After provisioning the vPro device in one of ways described in the previous section, you can view it in 
the vPro SCS console. 

 

1.

 

Open the vPro SCS Console.  

2.

 

Expand the Intel AMT Systems branch and select the target vPro device. The target vPro 
device is displayed with its provisioning status.   

3.

 

Depending on the provisioning approach, there are two different provisioning status associated 
with vPro systems. 

a.

 

If the Intel vPro system is provisioned with the remote configuration method described in 
the 4A, the system status will transition from unprovisioned to provision state 
automatically using a PKI key.  

b.

 

If the Intel vPro system is provisioned with the other methods, there are several steps to 
complete the provision process. 

i.

 

Select an unprovisioned Intel vPro client using a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). Enter the 
Intel AMT machine’s Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in the relevant fields. If 
there are multiple systems shown at the same time, administrator needs to 
manually find out which UUID matches to which FQDN.  

ii.

 

From the Profile list, choose the profile that you want to use to configure the Intel 
AMT system 

iii.

 

Click OK to save the setting. Then, the status of the Intel vPro system will change 
from unprovisioned state to provisioned state. Since the handshaking between the 
Intel vPro system and Intel SCS takes time, the state transition can take a few 
minutes to complete.
